The patch titled readahead: state based method: protect against tiny size has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is readahead-state-based-method-protect-against-tiny-size.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: readahead: state based method: protect against tiny size From: Fengguang Wu <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Move the tiny I/O size protection code from limit_rala() to state_based_readahead(). limit_rala() is also called by context based readahead, which has its own minimal readahead size.
